Honoring the 50th anniversary of the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, West Liberty University’s Community University is presenting a two-part class that explores the murder of the youngest president ever elected to the office.
Alumnus Larry Williams and student Kacie Murray, stand near a granite marker, commemorating JFK’s campaign visit to the Hilltop in 1960. Murray holds an image snapped that shows the event, which includes JFK standing on a chair in front of Rogers Hall speaking to the crowd.
WLU Professor Emeritus Charles Campanizzi’s presentation, “Who Killed JFK?” will meet twice, from 10-11:30 a.m., Thursday and Friday, Nov. 21 and 22. His class will look at the overall tragedy that rocked the nation and how it has shaped American history.
According to Campanizzi, the course provides evidence of a conspiracy that killed President John. F. Kennedy. Free assassination research information will be available at the program.
Campanizzi is an educator, researcher and psychologist. For more than 44 years, he has conducted in-depth research on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
